Holiday themed cigars - yay or nay?

[TreySC]

I don't get them for every holiday, but I like the idea of it and go for it when I can.

[Brimy]

I'll have to say nay!
I've had a few and it was never on the holiday for which they were named.

Only ones I am guilty of going after are the Tat Monster Series but this was the first year I didn't grab a box

I picked up some of the Viaje Thanksgiving smokes this year but only because it was based on the Zombie blend. Heard the Stuffed Turkey was good so figured why not.

Didn't really care for the Candy Cane or Christmas Tree. It's all very gimmicky, I go on word of mouth.

I like maybe 20% of the monster blends.

That's how new I am, didn't know they existed. Are they different blends or same cigar packaged different?

They are (to my knowledge all) unique cigars - not "regular" cigars with a special band

I buy them but don't tend to smoke them on the intended holiday, mostly because I like to give them a rest in the coolerdor for a few months.

I'm the same - for this reason I'm normally a year behind on smoking everything!

I know this was a necro'd thread - but I figured I'd chime in. I have come to believe that (at least the CAO) cigars ARE actually regular cigars many times, resized and repackaged for a "Holiday Release". Perhaps a slight tweaking of the blend to accommodate for the size change, but I recall hearing that certain CAOs were actually other popular CAOs, like with the Reindeer, Santa, Snowman stuff.

The Rabid Reindeer was a version of the Mx2 and the Sinister Sam is a version of America. Those two I know for sure.

Unfortunately yes; I'm a sucker when it comes to holiday themed cigars. Currently deciding on my Christmas and New Years Eve sticks!
